Seven ways to spend less on fuel….
I drive a 25 mile round trip every day to work which I know isn't much compared to a lot of people's commute but to us, it means that petrol makes up a big part of our monthly budget. But it is possible to change your driving habits a little to make the best use of your fuel so you can get the most out of it.Keep your tyres inflated to the correct pressure. As well as making your car more fuel efficient, it's also safer for you and your passengers. Don't use your air conditioning unless you have to - just wind a window down.

Three apps that give you free calls and texts on your mobile phone….
For those of you who have a Smartphone but don't have unlimited free texts or calls there's some great apps around that allow you to get free calls or free texts to other users who also have the app downloaded.The one I use at the moment is called Viber which looks to be available to the majority of phone types.

It’s Back – Free Family and Friends Railcard 2013….
A Family and Friends Railcard will save you a third off the price of normal adult train fares and 60% off children's fares so even taking into account that the price of one is going to increase to £30a year from the 19th May it still more than pays for itself over the course of a year. In fact, ours paid for itself on the first journey we booked with it to Manchester last Summer and it's carried on saving us money since then. I don't know about you but I'd much rather get the train than drive somewhere - it's a much more comfortable journey, there's no car parking to worry … [Read more...]
